More ATC's Inspired by Music

First ATC is surprise, surprise, inspired by Ludo's "Love Me Dead" tune. Both ATC's have collage sheet freebies from Somerset Studio magazine, purell transfers, dymo words, oil pastels and chalks.

The next one is from Weezer's "No One Else":
I don't really stick to one "artistic style" but I guess a big portion of my work uses the same blond man from a cabinet card, transferring something over his face and adding words. I have come to love this man, and the man I use for most of my other cards, who I call Grumpy Guy in my head. My PhrenMen series uses the phrenology stamp and speaks to the "two faced-ness of man". or conflicting emotions in one man etc. I then added transferring shells over faces and now clowns and bones to my repertoire. The Blond Guy is under there. You just have to look real hard to find him. Kind of like real life. xoSusan

Yet More Shell Seeker ATC's

Here are 2 more ATC's based on my beloved Ludo song, Love Me Dead. I think I may be obsessed.
The first one is scrapbook paper that I inked, purell transfered and beeswaxed. Another virgin foray into wax. Not so good. ah well. I got messy with the embossing powder too. But that just makes him More Hideous, right? There is also 7 Gypsies book tape on the bottom.

The second one is scrapbook paper, ink, chalk, purell transfer, rub-on. I just love this mans face. xoSusan

Yet Another Shell Seeker ATC

Here is another Male Shell Seeker ATC, branching away from the ladies right now. Have 2 more in the works, a series of 9 ATC's based on a White Stripes song, and an ATC to make for Dee. I'm gonna be a busy girl on Sunday! This ATC is yet another one based on Ludo's song, Love Me Dead. This song is ripe with inspiration if you are twisted like myself. Anyhoo, I have like 10 more ATC's to make from this song, stay tuned.

Scrapbook paper on baseball card, vintage guy, Purell transfer, Portfolio oil pastels, chalks and rub ons. I love how there just happened to be an A on the scrapbook paper. Yeah, sometimes it all works out like that. A is for Awful. teehee. xoSusan

ANTI-VALENTINES

Before you look any further you MUST play the video above.
The Band is Ludo, and the song is Love Me Dead.

Lyrics:

Love me cancerously

like a salt-sore soaked in the sea. "

High-maintenance" means you’re a gluttonous queen,

narcissistic and mean.

Kill me romantically

Fill my soul with vomit

then ask me for a piece of gum.

Bitter and dumb, you’re my sugarplum

You’re awful, I love you...

She moves through moonbeams slowly

She knows just how to hold me

and when her edges soften her body is my coffin.

I know she drains me slowly

She wears me down to bones in bed...

must be the sign on my head

it says, "Oh, love me dead!" Love me dead!

You’re a faith-healer on T.V.

You’re an office park without any trees

corporate and cold gushing for gold - leave me alone.

You suck so passionately

You’re a parasitic, psycho, filthy creature finger-bangin’ my heart.

You call me up drunk, does the fun ever start?

You’re hideous... and sexy!

Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da! Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da!

How’s your new boy?

Does he know about me?

You’ve got the mark of the beast.

You’re born of a jackal!

You’re beautiful

Love me dead!

Love me dead! Love me dead! Oh... love me dead!

So, in the Anti-Valentine spirit, I have used this song for inspiration.

My own sad love life is inspiration enough, but alas,

I am not as clever as the writers of this song!!

So here are my Anti-Valentines 2009:

Only 4 for now, but the song is ripe for more interpretation. I'm digging the paste paper! I mean no offense to anyone, this is just my sick sense of humor when it comes to love. Otherwise, I'm pretty conventional.
More will be forthcoming....xoSusan
